Gunmetal ZR1's on white car
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've been searching for pics of the gunmetal ZR1 rims all over. I've found a few thirdgens with them, but not many. I have a 91 RS, white, I'm trying to figure out how they would look on it. I highly doubt their are any pics of white Camaro's with them, but if so please post pics, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

If anyone has the power/desire to photoshop some gunmetal ZR1's on a white Camaro, i'd really appreciate it!!

Thanks, Matt

This is just what I have seen, so don't quote me on this. It seems like the majority of the ZR1/SS wheels that are gunmetal are 17x11... Most of the thirdgen's use 17x9 I belive.

you can buy the gunmetals in 17x9 or 17x11. People run both 9's and 11's out back depending on how much work they want to do. And of course a 9 up front.

how much work would it take to put 11's out back?

IROCFAST 10-08-2004 04:53 PM

Measuring, inner fenderwell work, rolling the lip. Just about it. You need to run at least 6.5" of effective backspace.

could a n00b at body work do it?

It depends on what tire size you want to run. I was running 285's out back with no work at all done and a 1.75" adaptor. They stuck out a little, but nothing horrible. From what I understand you would have to do some messaging of the inner fender well to fit the 315's.

Here's a pic:

Don't get me wrong, that car looks great, silver ones arent too far down my list of choices, but has anyone ever seen the gunmetal ones on a white car? Although it boils down to what I think look good on the car, what are your opinoins on how they would look? You car rack up a nice bill when buying wheels and tires, so I want to be sure I make the right choice the first time.

Thanks, Matt.

I'm running 17x11's with 315's out back and they tuck under nicely I think.
Note: Lots of massaging to get them in there.

Which thickness adapters did you use on the rear? What rim offset? Those are perfect!!!
